Hello @sqrlygirldad,

Undoubtedly @gingerw could best answer this question. However, since you are inquiring about being tested yourself, can I assume that you have some similar behaviors and ways of reacting as does your daughter?

@sqrlygirldad Formally diagnosed as an adult, I spent a lot of time and energy learning to mask and "fit in" with neurotypical people, in both personal and professional relationships, all my life. It is what I had to do to survive. It took a professional to diagnose me, when some very crucial events happened in my workplace. I voluntarily sought out and paid for testing/counseling. It made things clearer to me, and understanding the way my mind works [and it is not a bad thing], helped me immensely.

How would your life change if you received such a diagnosis at this time? That seriously is a question to ask before proceeding.

Actually I was diagnosed first as a child and "cured" of Aspergers. AKA applied behavior hammered-in therapy until I had a pavlovian dog responses on acting 'human' for situations. It was very successful many years until a car accident with TBI. rehab did not account for English not being first language nor my Asperger's. Sothe 'fix' was broken. But I have been re DX as Autism-moderate. OCD, Anxiety since Dec 2018
